Hamilton Southeastern High School Reviews

Great school and teachers! HSE is a great way to be prepared for college. The size of this school is huge which makes you more responsible so you can make it to your classes on time. There are so many things you can take part in, so it is not hard to find out what is the best fit for you. Even as someone who has not always gone to HSE, I would say this school has given me many opportunities which I couldn't be more thankful for.

I'm now halfway through college as a biology major. HSE set me up for success in a way that a lot of my current classmates' schools did not. There were a lot of courses that other schools do not offer that made my college experience easier. The teachers clearly knew how to transition students into higher education. I only know of a couple people that did not go on to college. I was also in athletics as a cheerleader. The athletic department still has some way to go in recognizing cheerleading as a sport on par with other sports, but my coaches were great leaders and role models. Overall, I have a lot of great memories with my teammates and classmates. I'm excited for our first reunion already!

A Student can pursue many avenues of specialized study (I.e. Medicine, Engineering or Teaching). There is even a well balanced course offering for students not wanting to pursue college and obtain craft skills. The environment created allows students to achieve their dreams while respecting their comfort zone. The choices are bountiful and expose the Students toward discovering the possibilities of their future (especially the undecided). The choice is up to each Student. Go for it and you may be surprised.
